During our morning trip, we were able to spot Sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis), Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis), Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), Portuguese Man O'War (Physalia physalis) and Cory's Shearwater (Calonectris borealis).
During our afternoon trip, we spotted again the Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) that have been feeding in North of Faial, alongside the Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis). We also saw Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), Portuguese Man O'War (Physalia physalis) and Cory's Shearwater (Calonectris borealis).
We ended the day with the sunset trip, where we saw Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus), Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis) and Cory's Shearwater (Calonectris borealis).
We hope you enjoyed your trip & see you again on another opportunity!
